Unlabelled: Acalvaria is a rare congenital malformation characterized by the absence of bones and related muscles in a section of the skull. The number of reported cases in the literature is quite low, and it is generally considered a fatal malformation. We present a case of a newborn diagnosed with acalvaria malformation along with a review of the literature, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing this rare condition from malformations such as anencephaly, exencephaly and acrania.

Aim Of Study: In this study, we aimed to investigate the wound healing potential of okra fruit by in vitro and in vivo experimental models in detail.
Background: Infectious diseases are a major threat in the developing world and the discovery of novel antimicrobial agents remains to be crucial due to acquired resistance by the microorganisms. Additionally, various diseases can be prevented with antioxidant agents as they can eliminate the harmful effects of reactive oxygen species.
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to synthesize novel compounds bearing N-(6- methoxybenzothiazol-2-yl)-3-(4-substitued piperazinyl)propanamide backbone that had antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
This study was undertaken to analyze the phenolic profiles of 19 propolis samples from Turkey by using a high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method in order to identify their plant origins. Furthermore, their antioxidant and antimicrobial activity profiles were comparatively evaluated. For the appraisal of antioxidant potential, total phenolic (TPC) and total flavonoid contents (TFC) of propolis samples were firstly determined and then their effects on free radicals were evaluated by FRAP, ABTS , CUPRAC, DPPH and HPTLC-DPPH methods.
